Happy fall Thursday, friends! Today, I would like to discuss how I slim down a fall outfit.
I am feeling great and going in the right direction with my health, so when I style a look right now I seek ways to slim down a fall outfit.
There are certain techniques we can apply to slim down our outfits, and I do try to keep them in mind.
This is what I wore to my weekly Bible Study, so I am going to use this fall outfit as a way to show you how I slim down what I am wearing.
Let’s talk, and I will share how I often dress to slim down and look smaller than I am.
HOW I SLIM DOWN A FALL OUTFIT: TIPS FOR JEANS
I believe this outfit was inspired by a neighbor’s tree I look at every day…it is a beautiful fall color…and I am often inspired by colors in nature.
The cool winds are blowing and our fall is finally glorious…so I was ready for a fall outfit I could wear all day.
I do wear jeans often this time of year…and here are the tips I keep in mind to look slimmer in my jeans.
TIPS TO LOOK SLIM IN JEANS:
- it is true that darker washes in jeans are slimming. They also have a more polished look.
- Full length, slim leg jeans are slimming also. I am (once again) in between sizes…however very close to getting back to my size 16, which the majority of my pants are. Fit is very important to help you look slimmer, but these size 18 are a little baggy on me right now. Though I do love the jeans. These are the TALBOTS STRAIGHT LEG JEANS – RAMONA WASH – Curvy Fit. I have a pair of regular size 16 waiting in my closet for me…hope to see it soon.
HOW I SLIM DOWN A FALL OUTFIT: COLUMN OF COLOR
I know I have talked about this topic many times and always mention the column of one color underneath a third piece.
I am wearing a navy button down underneath this cardigan, and it is a great way to slim down my fall outfit.
Stacy and Clinton would say, that this technique makes us look like a “tall cool glass of water!”
It is another way to have a polished look.
My rust colored cardigan was found at JJill in the last two years. It does help my desire to slim down this fall outfit with a shorter length, and lighter fabric weight.
For current looks, just go to J.JILL CARDIGANS.
HOW I SLIM DOWN A FALL OUTFIT: MINDFUL ACCESSORIES
This scarf is not there to help me slim down this look but because of the colors!
It is one of the reasons I often just walk through a TJ Maxxor Marshalls.
Often something like this scarf will catch my eye and be perfect for my wardrobe at a really good price.
It is the long necklace that helps to slim down this outfit…the eye is drawn from the scarf downward with the necklace and that is slimming.
There you have it…four simple ways to slim down your fall outfit if you so desire.
RE-CAP:
- Dark, full length jeans
- A column of one color in the top and the pants or jeans
- A shorter length topper
- Accessories that elongate the look
Would anyone like to add ways that you slim down your own fall outfits?
Please share your thoughts on How I Slim Down a Fall Outfit….and hopefully…I will see all of you tomorrow! Until then…
KEEP SMILING!!
